    I was considering the "Jackass" method myself. Could you imagine what their car would look like after 230 lbs of me crashes into it with my bike going 15 mph? And the funny part :screwy:....they'd have to pay my medical bills. Maybe I do have a screw loose! (Of course, I'd wear my helmet):p

    But doesn't it make you want to visit to find out all about what's going on ?? BAH !!

    There are better ways to spend evangelism funds.

    FWIW ... if the church is doing things other than the work of worship, then yes .. I agree.

    However, knowing the costs of running a church, and the amounts normally given by the attendees, most small churches could not afford the taxes.

    However, then you have the megachurches ... which are in a whole different league.

    from what i can see, the churches around here put up the signs and take them down dutifully after Sunday services...I assume this work is done by volunteers who give up their time...and since it's free advertising, there are no funds spent

    in this regard at least, no need to pick on the churches...and we don't need to be taxing them...think REPEAL taxes on everyone and everything!

    Don't know if that's a good thing or not, as I've never really considered myself a libertarian...but as I have gotten older, I have begun leaning that way much more.

    I'd like the government to keep our country and families safe, and provide the necessary infrastructure for economic stability, but beyond that...stay out of things!!

    Totally separate posts, you know what I mean. Limited taxes for limited purposes.

    Does anyone know the county ordinance number that specifically prohibits the road spam ?

    WOW! Is the worst offender of road spam in the area. I wouldn't use them even if they were the best gym in town.

    I'm not alone!!! I was at the intersection of Ashburn Rd and Ashburn Farm Pkwy and there was my ol' buddy AFGM pulling signs from along the road.
